Hart returns to share his unique journey and the rich tapestry of his multi-generational family business, Hart Insurance. Barry's story isn't just about business; it's about family. We touch on his semi-retirement role, his son Jake's leadership in the family business, and the extraordinary reading skills of his grandson, who is on the spectrum.
